1. Melina
Melina is about 5 months old. She was trapped at a construction site in the Bronx by the rescuer. She is already spayed, tested, and vaccinated. She lives other cats! Des and Brian will foster her.
2. Galen
Uptown Girl Needs a Home
Galen was found wandering alone on Nagle Avenue in Washington Heights. As it happened to be a spay/neuter day for us, she was quickly whisked off to be spayed, vaccinated, and tested for FIV/FeLV (she’s negative!). We named her Nagel at first, but soon jumbled the letters to make it sound prettier – Galen. Getting to know her has been exciting for her foster person, as she has slowly learned to trust. This one-year-old kitty might do well with another feline or maybe as your one-and-only cat friend. Please consider adopting her or taking her in as a foster-to-adopt. You’ll be glad you did!
3. Harbor & Mariner
Introducing Harbor & Mariner
These sweet kitties have sadly been returned to us after eight years, and Carol picked them up on September 22.
Mariner is the one with more white on his face. They’re both extremely shy right now, which is completely understandable after such a big change, but they are incredibly gentle and sweet.
After eight years in a home, they deserve another chance at the stability and love of a forever family. Please give Harbor & Mariner a chance to feel safe, loved, and at home again.

4. Cinnamon
Spice up Your Life!
Meet Cinnamon! This beautiful girl was found living outside near Yankee Stadium. She quickly warmed up to the kind woman who took her in and brought her to us. Like most calicos, she can be a bit spicy until she feels comfortable in her surroundings. She’s only 7-8 months old, so she would need a kitty companion. Come and check her out!
5. Cabbie
He is FIV positive, but extremely sweet and gentle young boy.
6. Lady Jane & Poupon
Two Russian Blue Cats Need Safe Harbor!
When anyone adopts from The Animal Project, one of their main advantages is the ability to return the cats to us for any reason at any time. Most people see that as a huge safety net, but these misguided adopters decided to sell their cats online instead. Through a caper worthy of James Bond, we were able to retrieve the cats TODAY. Now Lady Jane and Poupon need a place to land! Could you open your heart and home to these sweet refugees?

15. Honey & Buns
Meet Honey & Buns! Honey and Buns are a brother-and-sister duo who are as sweet as they come! These social, friendly kittens are full of playful energy and always seem to be on the move. One minute they are zooming around the house chasing toys, and the next they are completely passed out together for a cozy kitten nap. There is truly no in-between!

Honey and Buns have been flea-treated, dewormed, vaccinated, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV. They will be spayed/neutered at the appropriate age in coordination with their adopters.

18. The Halloween Trio
Meet Tabitha, Salem, and Sabrina, an extraordinary trio who have overcome a heartbreaking start and blossomed into three incredibly sweet and loving cats.
These siblings were rescued from a dire situation in the Bronx when they were older kittens. After their caretaker sadly passed away, they were left living in a dark, dirty basement with no one to care for them. We brought them to safety, and with lots of love, patience, and compassion from their foster family, they have completely transformed.
Read more about The Halloween Trio
Today, Tabitha, Salem, and Sabrina are happy, affectionate, playful, and wonderfully cuddly. They love basking in sunny spots, playing together, and curling up on the couch for cozy cuddle sessions.
They have come such a long way, and their bond with one another is incredibly special. We know that adopting three cats may seem like a lot, but these three depend on each other and have formed such a close-knit family that we simply cannot imagine separating them.
They deserve a forever home where they can continue to feel safe, loved, and cherished, with plenty of sunny windows, cozy couches, playtime, and affection to go around.
For the family willing to open their home to all three, the reward will be three times the purrs, three times the cuddles, and an extraordinary bond unlike any other.

19. Blizzy
Meet Blizzy! Blizzy is a handsome boy with a story that began on one of the coldest nights of the year. He was rescued during the NYC blizzard in February, after spending months wandering the neighborhood wearing an old, dirty, and torn collar.
The kind people who had been feeding Blizzy outside knew that the approaching blizzard was too dangerous for him to face alone, so they reached out for help. Thankfully, Blizzy was brought safely indoors and is now enjoying the comfort of a loving foster home.
Read more about Blizzy
Blizzy was already neutered when he was rescued, but sadly, no owner came forward to claim him. Whatever his past may have been, this sweet boy deserves a fresh start and a happily ever after of his own.
Now that Blizzy is safe inside, he is ready for a forever home where he can leave his days of wandering behind and enjoy the simple comforts of a warm bed, full meals, and someone to love.
Blizzy is healthy, vaccinated, and FIV and FeLV negative, and he is estimated to be approximately 5 years old.
After everything Blizzy has been through, he is finally safe. Now all he needs is a loving family to make him feel truly home.
To learn more or apply to adopt Blizzy, please email nycatcoaladopt@yahoo.com or call Joan at (718) 671-1695. An online adoption form is also available - click here to apply.

Adopting a cat in Alpine
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
